Legally if the debt transaction was engaged by both of you during your marriage they can still pursue you. This is one of the unfortunate sides of mingling your finances when you get married to someone, and something most couples are too stupid in love to even think about.
When you get married you're forming a legal partnership. Choose your partners wisely my friends, one fuckup can fuck you up royally.
I fucked up once in my 20's when a girl I was just living with I ordered my AMEX card with her name on it. Big mistake. When we broke up she went to town on it to the tune of $60,000. I got the bill and was livid cause she had told me she had ripped up my card and would no longer charge on it after we ended after relationship. I called AMEX and complained like crazy that non of these purchases were authorized by me and that she had told me the card had been destroyed and I had no way of knowing she was doing this till the statement came. I went all the way up the supervisor ladder and stood firm refusing to accept her charges and they ended up cancelling my account I'm sure cause I got a bit caustic with this one woman on the phone and even when I caved in and said fine whatever I'll pay her charges, just reinstate my card they refused to. So look at that. Not even married and I got fucked cause of this sneaky girl.
